▲sb wonder if /whether “想知道”
▲宾语从句中使用了强调句型,被强调的成分是原因状语从句because I haven’t been able to be outdoors for so long。强调句型的基本用法如下:
1) 强调句型的结构是:It is / was +被强调部分+ that / who +其余部分。
2) 强调句型可强调的句子成分通常为主语、状语、宾语等。
It is tomorrow that I am going to see him. 我是准备明天去看他。
It is in this classroom that we often have our English classes. 我们是经常在这个教室里上英语课。
3) 在强调句型中,如被强调的部分是指人的词时,可用who(m) 或 that,强调其他成分时,一律用that,不能用which, where, when等。
正确:It was yesterday afternoon that we had a meeting in the meeting room.
错误:It was yesterday afternoon when we had a meeting in the meeting room.
4) 强调句型的一般疑问句形式为:“Is / Was it+被强调部分+ that / who +其余部分 ”。强调句型的特殊疑问句形式为:“疑问词+is / was + it + that +句子其余部分?”。
Is it tomorrow that you are going to see him
你是准备明天去看他吗?
When is it that you are going to see him 你准备在什么时间去看他?
当用强调句型强调主语时,that / who后的谓语形式与被强调的主语一致。
It is her biology teacher, Mr. Smith, who keeps her coming back.
正是斯密斯先生,她的生物老师,使她回到课堂。
巩固运用:
I bought this car in that shop last month. (就下划线部分作强调句)
Anne lived in Amsterdam in the Netherlands during World War Ⅱ
思考:① It is Wednesday that we don’t have English class. 是不是强调句?
② not …until 怎么用于强调句?

▲do with 与……有关 have sth./nothing/a lot to do with

▲ stay (link-v) + adj./n. 保持(某种状态)

▲ on purpose的意思是“ ”,其反义词组为by chance或by accident“偶然”。eg:

17. But as the moon gave far too much light, I didn’t dare open a window. 但是因为月光实在太亮了,我不敢开窗户。

He spends far too much time on video games. 他在计算机游戏上花的时间实在太多了。
The new system is far better than the old one. 这套新系统要比旧系统好多了。
▲ 本句中,dare与open之间省略了不定式符号to。此句中dare是实义动词,意思是“敢;胆敢”。dare用作实义动词时,后接带to的动词不定式,但是在口语中,dare可以与不带to的不定式连用。如:

▲“It is / was the + first (second, third, last) + time + that +主语+完成时”是固定句型,该句型表示“是第几次做…”,it也可以换成this或that。主句用现在或将来时态时,that从句中通常用现在完成时态;主句用过去时态时,that从句中多用过去完成时。
This is the first time (that) I have been to Beijing.(= It is the first time (that) I am in Beijing.)这是我第一次来北京。

17. It’s no pleasure looking through these any longer because nature is one thing that really must be experienced. 观看这些已经不再是乐趣,因为大自然是必须亲身体验的。
